Kenyon Martin on Kobe Byrant: In this era, if he played in this era, if he played in this era today, this man would average 75 points.

Kenyon Martin: I’mma keep harping on it. People gonna get tired of hearing me say it, probably... but if we had a different coach, we win a championship, bro. No doubt about it. I just said this earlier: your coach gotta get you one. If we had a different coach that was well-rounded—knew the game and people—not just the game and not just people, but both? Because it can’t just be one part. Nah.

Kenyon Martin: So, did the man know basketball? Yeah. But it wasn’t in its totality. Not in-game situations. All the stuff you need—like, if you ain’t got no timeouts, or if they take something away, what are we going to do? We never worked on that. I played for this man for six and a half years. We never worked on end-of-game situations. Like, never worked on it, dog. So, we’re playing the Lakers—Western Conference Finals. We throw the ball away twice because we’re trying to zip Mello up. We didn’t run any action. Just zip him up, and they took it away. We turned the ball over.

Kenyon Martin: Mark Cuban... we go back to Dallas, and we are kicking their ass. So my mom is sitting in a certain seat. She walks by, and he says something to the effect of, 'And your son’s a thug too,' or something like that." "After the game, I see my mom is visibly upset. But nobody in real time tells me what happened." "They know me. Nobody says anything in the moment—they wait until we leave the arena to tell me, like, 'This is what he said to her.' So, next game—Game 4—we’re up 3–0. They win Game 4, of course. Now we lose, and I’m really on one. Y’all know how Mark used to walk across the court? When they lose, he used to walk diagonally across it. Not this time. This particular day, he walks the baseline and up the sideline. You know, out that far tunnel." "Normally, he walks diagonally every time, win or lose. Game’s over. I’m walking dead toward him. Police start lining up. Security starts lining up. And I told my kid, 'I don’t give a damn if you a billionaire or not—I’ll whoop your ass, man. Don’t you ever—'” "She is off-limits. I don’t care who you are. I’ll tear this whole thing up. Y’all gonna have to call SWAT in this [ __ ]. I’ll tear this mother up, bro." Kenyon Martin: "You don’t say nothing to Lydia. I beg you." "Nah, bro. I don’t care—you a billionaire, all that—you cool, your team, your arena... all that’s great. But I’ll crash out behind my mama. I’ll whoop your ass in your own arena."

Kenyon Martin: So does Pat Riley fire his boy Erik Spoelstra? Gilbert Arenas: No, he got to fire himself. No one's complaining about Spo, but it's still like you're overseeing Spo still. He’s the Godfather.

GILBERT ARENAS: Some coaches, like, they look at that schedule—the first thing they look at is Miami. Like, how many days? Oh, how many days we get in this [__]? Right? KENYON MARTIN: And then some—so this is the way they’ll do it, right? Magically, it’ll be mechanical issues on the plane when we’re getting ready to leave to go to Miami, getting ready to go to LA or New York. So New York, Miami, LA, Toronto.

Based on how their careers turned out, Green looks like the better player between the two. However, some old heads, including Kenyon Martin and Brandon Jennings, don't share that belief. "Bonzi Wells better than Draymond Green," Jennings said during a recent episode of "Gil's Arena." "That sh*t ain't even fu*king close," Martin replied.

Kenyon Martin on facing tedious customs procedures when traveling to and from Toronto: ‘Terrible. You can't even bring your toiletry bag back through the airport after the game cuz we got to go through the airport after the game to go through security. You can't even bring your f*cking toiletry bag in like you a f*cking civilian.

YouTube

Kenyon Martin: There was a rumor, a dude played for the Nets, went knowing he had his situation, they landed back and they had folks waiting on him like ‘come on over here’. Plane pull up, hey don't nobody get off the plane.. we've been looking for you… but we know who all had issues and you know some people might take longer than others. If it's a pending charge, yeah the bus going to leave you, they got to figure this out. If it's something that you've been already convicted or you already got to they could take you back there probably… Smart teams, Smart security dudes, they pull you first right because they know it's going to take a little longer, so when everybody get it done then you're done.
